The amount of petroleum consumption has been Increased according to the industrialization and It leads to the increase of the possibility of marine oil pollution. In Korea, some countermeasures including oil skimmer, gelling agent and herding agent of oil have been used for the remediation of the pollution. However, most of them have lets of shortcomings in the application under in-situ condition, because they are sensitive to the situation such as geographical feature, the wind and the tide. In reported literature, the natural powdered oil absorbent which is made of peat moss is an effective mean to clean spilled oil from lake or coast. However, the peat moss is a natural resource which is only Produced from a specific cold weather are like Canada. This indicates that the alternative materials which is readily obtained from everywhere are needed for powdered oil absorbent. Therefore. in the study, same natural materials including pine leaves and straw are tested as the alternative materials for the absorbent. The raw materials were dried and treated by heat at various temperature during several Periods and then. shattered by a grain cracking machine. The oil sorption capacity of the prepared materials was compared according to the methods of heat treatment and their sizes. The proportion of hydrogen cyanide to combustion of the absorbents was measured to confirm their final disposal methods. The biodegradability test of the absorbents was carried our to evaluate possibility of a side pollution in the coast. In was found that the heat treatment of pine leaves enhanced the capacity of oil sorption and decreased the water sorption. The maximum oil sorption was observed for the material treated at 180℃for 60 min. The amount of hydrogen cyanide from the combustion were 0.09ml/g, 0.07ml/g for pine leaves and straw respectively meaning that the final disposal by combustion might be feasible. The amount or organic carbon extracted from pine leaves during 7 days was up to 0.015g organic carbon from one gram of pine leaves. but the degradation was as fast as for glucose. It is concluded that the pine leaves can be served as a good raw material for the powdered oil absorbent like peat moss

국내에 원위치 피복기술의 적용 사례가 전무한 가운데 본 연구에서는 부산 N항을 대상으로 피복 기술에 대한 시범 사업을 수행하 였다. 오염 정화를 위하여 원통관과 클램쉘을 이용한 피복 공법이 적용되었다. 두 공법의 피복형상 변화, 퇴적물 오염도 변화, 공정 소요시간, 소요비용을 산정하고 비교하였다. 원통관 공법과 클램쉘 공법 모두 목표 두께인 50 cm를 평균적으로 만족하였다. 그러나 원통관 공법은 해저 지형 변화에 민감하게 반응하지 못하는 단점을 가지고 있어 비균일한 피복형상을 나타내었다. 원통과 공법과 클램쉘 공법 적용 시 유기물 함 량은 매우 감소하였지만, pH의 뚜렷한 변화는 없었다. Cd, Ni, Zn의 유기물 및 잔류 형태의 비율이 피복 후 증가하였다. 원통관 공법의 경우 클램쉘 공법에 비해 공정 소요시간이 약 4배 정도 더 소요되었다. 클램쉘 공법의 시공비용은 원통관 공법에 비해 약 40% 절감 되는 것으로 나타났다. 오염 퇴적물 정화 효율에 대한 평가를 위해서는 최소 2년 이상의 장기적인 모니터링이 진행되어야 한다.

본 연구에서는 반응성 피복소재인 제올라이트, 몬모릴로나이트, 제강슬래그의 피복두께에 따른 오염된 해양퇴적물 내 중금속 용출 차단 효율을 평가하였다. 실험결과, As의 용출차단에는 제올라이트, 몬모릴로나이트, 제강슬래그 모두 효과적이지 못하였다. 제올라이트는 Cr 용출 차단에 부정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났지만, 몬모릴로나이트 5 cm 피복은 Cr 용출 차단에 매우 효과적이었다. As 및 Cr과는 대 조적으로 Cd, Ni, 그리고 Pb은 미피복 퇴적물에서 조차 용출되지 않았다. Cu와 Zn은 피복 조건에 따른 영향이 가장 뚜렷한 중금속이었다. Cu 의 용출은 몬모릴로나이트 피복 두께 1 cm 이상 그리고 제올라이트 피복 두께 3 cm 이상에서 효과적으로 차단되었다. 해양퇴적물에서 Zn의 용출은 모든 피복 물질에서 효과적이었다. 본 연구를 통해서 제올라이트, 몬모릴로나이트, 제강슬래그를 오염된 해양퇴적물에서 Cr, Cu, Zn의 용출 차단을 위한 효과적인 피복소재로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

이 논문은 직·간접적으로 연결되어 있는 해양오염관리의 동태적 현상을 파악하고 해양오염 및 관리 유인을 분석하고자 한다. 이 논문에서는 시스템 다이내믹스 분석 기법을 사용하여 해양오염 및 관리에 대한 하위 시스템을 분석하고 시스템 구성요소간의 피드백 루프 (Feedback loop)를 작성하였고, 이를 바탕으로 해양오염관리의 전체적인 인과지도(Casual map)를 작성하였다. 이 논문의 주된 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 기름유출시 초동방제 유인간 시간지연에 따른 피드백 루프 침체에 대한 장비 및 기술개발, 법률적 개정이 필요하다. 둘째, 사회적 갈등으로 발생된 부식공동체 확산방지를 위한 협력체 구성 및 신사업 창출을 통한 생계수단이 마련되어야 한다. 셋째, 기름유출의 해양오염관 리를 단순히 유출된 기름을 제거하는 방제뿐만 아니라 유출로 인한 지역사회 및 국가차원의 사회적 갈등까지 최소화시켜야할 책무도 포함되 어야 한다. 본 연구에서 제시된 해양오염관리 모델을 통해 기존 방제계획, 매뉴얼 및 대응 프로그램의 개선에서 확인할 수 없었던 시간지연 등의 숨은 유인(Hidden cause)을 확인하고, 광의의 방제활동이 더욱 중요해졌음을 인지하여, 이를 해결 할 수 있는 방향을 제시하는데 도움을 줄 수 있을 것이라 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 해양오염퇴적물 내 Ni, Cu, Pb 및 Zn 등 중금속에 대하여 벤토나이트를 이용한 안정화 처리를 수행하였다. 안정화 실 험은 해양오염퇴적물에 벤토나이트 첨가 후 150일간 습윤 양생 하여 실시하였다. 중금속 연속추출 결과로부터, 미처리 오염퇴적물과 비교해서 Ni, Cu, Pb 및 Zn은 용이하게 용출가능한 존재형태(이온교환, 탄산염, 산화물 형태)가 벤토나이트에 의해 각각 8.5%, 5.6%, 19.2% 및 28.2% 감 소하였다. 또한, 안정화제 의한 오염퇴적물의 용출저감 평가를 위해 TCLP(Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure)를 수행한 결과, 미처리 오염퇴적물과 비교하여 안정화 처리 퇴적물인 경우 중금속의 용출량이 각각 Ni 95.7%, Cu 96.8%, Pb 99.2%, Zn 85.9%씩 크게 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과로부터, 벤토나이트를 해양오염퇴적물의 피복소재로 사용할 경우 시험 대상 중금속의 안정화 효과가 확인되었다.

본 연구에서는 제강슬래그를 이용하여 수용액상에서 혼합 중금속의 흡착능을 평가하였다. 게다가, 제강슬래그를 안정화제로 활용하 여 해양오염퇴적물 내 Ni, Zn, Cu, Pb 및 Cd에 대하여 중금속 안정화 실험을 수행하였다. 중금속 흡착 특성은 Freundlich 및 Langmuir 방정식 을 이용하여 해석하였으며, 평형흡착 실험결과는 Langmuir 모델에 잘 부합되었고 Pb2+ > Cd2+ > Cu2+ > Zn2+ > Ni2+순으로 평형흡착량이 많았 다. 안정화 방법은 오염퇴적물에 제강슬래그 첨가 후 150일간 습윤 양생 하였다. 연속추출 실험결과로부터, 미처리 오염퇴적물과 비교해서 Ni, Zn, Cu, Pb 및 Cd의 이온교환, 탄산염, 산화물 형태는 제강슬래그에 의해 각각 13%, 6.0%, 1.3%, 17% 및 50% 감소하였다.

국내 해상 위험 위해물질(HNS)에 대한 해상물동량과 해양사고의 통계적 분석을 통하여 해역 및 위험분야 별 위험도를 조사한 결과 울산항, 여수항, 대산항 순으로 위험 유해물질에 의한 화재위험, 건강위험, 환경위험이 높게 평가되었다. 국내 HNS 사고 대응태세에 대한 조사, 분석을 통해서 폭발위험, 화재위험, 생리적 위험에 취약한 실정을 파악하고 전문 방제자원의 확충 필요성을 제시하였다. 또한 일본의 방제자원 및 배치 현황을 비교 분석하여 해상 위험 위해물질 유출사고 특성에 선순환적으로 대응하고 평가된 위험도를 저감하기 위한 방제자원의 규모와 종류를 설정하였다. 평가된 위험도를 기반으로 국내 해역에서 HNS 사고 대비 대응을 위한 남해, 서해, 동해 3곳의 거점기지와 인천을 비롯한 9곳의 일반기지를 제안하고 거점기지와 일반지지의 HNS 방제자원 모델을 설계하였다.

Using single cell gel electrophoresis, DNA single strand breaks were determined in various marine organisms. DNA damage on fish blood cells was detected to know whether there was a difference between Incheon, Pohang, Masan, and Tongyeong as a control site. Tongyeong showed the lowest DNA damage among the study areas. Mussels, transplanted to Masan Bay for one month, revealed high DNA damage at sites with high economical activity. In two weeks exposure of polychaete to Incheon sediments, higher DNA damage was detected in the sediment adjacent to Incheon harbor than open sea. These results suggested that the marine organism from the polluted area revealed a relatively high DNA damage. In addition, these areas might be contaminated with genotoxic compounds and comet assay was useful as a bioassay to detect DNA damage in marine organisms.

Oil spill in sea water is the most frequent and significant problem of marine pollution. As an early detection sensor of the pollution, an activated carbon coated quartz crystal is prepared and examined for its performance of detection sensitivity and stability. Powdered activated carbon and phenol resin is coated on the surface of the sensor and the sensor is baked for an hour. Adsorption of acetone dissolved in water and salt water is measured using frequency shift of quartz crystal at different concentrations of solute material. The outcome indicates that the sensor preparation is adequate and the measurement of solute concentration is stable and sensitive enough to be implemented on the monitoring of solute concentration is stable and sensitive enough to be implemented in the monitoring of organic pollution of sea water.

Microorganisms producing bioemulsifier were isolated from the sea water in Pusan coastal area. The isolated strain which had the highest emulsification activity and stability was identified as the genus Acinetobacter from the results of morphological, cultural and biochemical tests and named Acinetobacter sp. EL-C6 for convenience. The compositions of optimum medium for emulsification of crude oil by Actnetobacter sp. EL-C6 were crude oil 2.0%, NH_4NO_3 0.2%, K_2HPO_4 0.01%, MgSO_4·7H_2O 1.0%, CaCl_2·2H_2O 0.1% and NaCl 3.0% at initial pH 7.5 and 30℃, respectively. The cultivation for emulsification of crude oil was carried out in 500㎖ shaking flask containing 100㎖ of the optimum medium at 30℃. The highest emulsification was observed after 5 days. The utilization on the various hydrocarbon of the Acinetobacter sp. EL-C6 showed that utilization of n-alkane compounds were better than that of aromatic compounds. Among the petroleum compounds, crude oil was best utilized by the Actnetobacter sp. EL-C6.

The International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ship, 1973, as modified by the Proto-col of 1978 relating thereto, well known as MARPOL 73/78, is probably the most important international agreement on the subject of marine pollution. The main purpose of the Convention is to reduce the total oil remaining on board vessel to minimum. MARPOL is a combination of different sets of rules on oil, chemicals, noxious substances in package forms, sewage and garbage as shown on each Annex. Since the Convention has globally set forth in 1973, it has amended so often whenever reasonable articles are requi-red by contracting states under guidelines of IMO. The amendments, for instance, have continuously perfo-rmed more than 8 times regarding articles, protocols, and five annexes because the original text was badly drafted as the control measures were expressed in general way. This paper, therefore, is intend to summa-rize a main point relating to each amendment, so that persons who have an interest in the Convention would be completely understand for practical implementation. Especially, for legislative purpose or annen-dement of domestic law, it could timely be contributable if specific consolidation and unified interpretations are followed with this paper. Consequently it is much more worth to study for preventing marine pollution from ship with tracing every moment whenever the Convention formally adopted through amending up-to-data.

It is, as everyone knows, very important for human beings to protect and conserve marine environment. We has believed the ocean is so wide and deep that it cannot be polluted. But it has begun to doubt the capacity of self-purification of the ocean due to pollution arising from marine casualities. It has proved that semi-enclosed sea is likely to be polluted and cannot be restored easily once pollution occurs. Therefore, first of all it is important to take preventive measures for prevention of marine pollution in the semi-enclosed sea like the Yellow Sea. Many of regional conventions for prevention of marine pollution have come into existence. this dissertation was set out for the fact that the Yellow Sea is semi-enclosed sea which is vulnerable to marine pollution. It is desirable not to deal with marine preservation of the Yellow Sea by a single exclusively but to deal with it by cooperation of all coastal states under the present circumstances. I proposed a program of regional cooperation to protect and conserve the Yellow Sea. This program must be progressed with gradual arrangements. First, they must establist a basic cooperation committee to work basic affairs on the protection of marine environment within the Yellow Sea. The Committee Mainly play parts of study and research concerned with pollution of the Yellow Sea in the non-governmental side and consist of legal and scientific experts. Second, they must establish the control Committee to prevent marine pollution of the Yellow Sea substantially. There is a reason that regional cooperation cannot be directly concluded with the regional tready. Because there is a problem of Recognition of States left. In principle, a subject of tready must be a state in the International Law. But they have not made Recognition of State which is demanded by International Law between North and South Koreas. Therefore, the Control committee must play a substantial part of prevention from pollution instead of the treaty. Finally, we concluded tentatively named 「Convention on Regional Cooperation for Protection of Marine Environment of the Yellow Sea from Pollution」 if the matter is settled which is related to Recognition of States in the International Law.
